Nach participants try to gain sympathy vo

Sob stories, injuries, personal problems, stress, work load — these seem to be the weapon of a few contenders of Nach Baliye 3 who like to talk about their miseries to get sympathy votes from audiences. These excuses are even given to the judges- Vaibhavi Merchant, Ishaa Koppikar and David Dhawan to garner more points. But the judges don't like them. Apparently Rakhi Sawant's boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi too has been talking about his torn hamstring which he got after doing a split move in his first performance but he still rehearses all day so the other participants don't sympathise with him. Vaibhavi says, "Such stories don't make me lenient at all. If they feel they can't perform they have the liberty to quit. We are not torturing them. And to give them the benefit of the doubt they really might have hurt themselves but are surviving on sheer determination and painkillers. Why not? It's their decision." Vikas Sethi's wife Amita Sethi too had been complaining about a hairline fracture on her foot but continues to religiously rehearse for the show. Amita retaliates, "I know how badly it hurts. If others choose not to believe it, I don't care."
